Tips for Better Spreadsheets

1. Specify the structure: List the sheets, columns, and calculations you need.

2. Provide assumptions: For financial models, give starting numbers and growth rates.

3. Mention formulas needed: "Include VLOOKUP for...", "Calculate running totals", "Show variance vs plan."

4. Request sample data: "Include realistic sample data for testing" helps see it in action.

5. Describe formatting: "Conditional formatting for negative values", "Currency format", "Freeze header row."

6. Chart preferences: "Include a line chart showing trend", "Pie chart for breakdown."
